Hello folks! The eleventh game of Pro Kabaddi Season 4 is about to commence between two contrasting sides at Sawai Man Singh stadium in Jaipur. Dabang Delhi will face 2nd season champion and the most successful team of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi, U Mumba, in a mid-table clash today. U Mumba will be fighting hard to ensure that they don’t suffer a hat trick of losses, while Dabang Delhi will be looking for their first victory in this edition.

U Mumba have not started on a great note this season as they have lost two of their previous contests. Their only win came against Jaipur Pink Panthers in their first fixture, after which the team was humbled by Puneri Paltan in the Maharashtra derby and lost to Patna Pirates in what was labeled as a revenge match. As a result of the losses, the team sits on the 6th position on the points table with just 6 points to show against their name.

Dabang Delhi, who have completely changed the look of their team this season with some big names coming in, have played just two games till now and if the first few games are anything to go by, not a lot has changed for the franchise from the previous seasons. The team lost a match they should have won against Bengal Warriors and then played out a tie against Puneri Paltan, who were far from their best playing their 4th match in 4 days.

History too won’t be on Dabang Delhi’s side as the team has come on top only once in 7 contests against the team from Mumbai. Another concern for Dabang Delhi will be their captain Kashiling Adake’s form. Adake hasn’t looked at his best as the team’s leading raider in the first two matches and his captaincy too hasn’t been anything spectacular to catch attention.

The team will need him to fire on all cylinders if they hope to trump U Mumba today. Selvamani K and Deepak Narwal have looked good but would realize that good is often not good enough when the opposition is U Mumba. Similarly, Meyraj Sheykh can really trouble the U Mumba defence if he can replicate his performance of the first match.

U Mumba has its own troubles to deal with. The mass exodus in the auction has clearly hurt the team’s defence and the new names are finding the shoes of Surender Nada, Vishal Mane and Fazel Atrachali too big to fill. The good news for the team is the return to form of Rishank Devadiga, who almost turned the tables on Patna Pirates in the team’s last match.

Since it’s a clash between two teams placed at the bottom of the table, whichever team loses will have a mountain to climb to come back in the tournament. And that’s why we can all hope for a cracker of a contest here at Sawai Man Singh today.
